And then the rains came...


We were told it would come, that it would come in torrents and create the streets to flood. Well, it happened.

For the last week it has rained in a torrential down-pour throughout the nights and then rained on and off throughout each day. It has been a welcoming relief from the heat and dryness. There has been much discussion over the local radio air waves that even if it gets a record setting amount of rain this winter, Perth will still run out of water by the end of the summer. It's hard to imagine right now as we watch everything become green and lush again.

Tom has gotten caught a few times on his bike to and from school - his shoes have developed a chronic squelch. He travels with an extra set of work clothes now.
